Yeah its definitely a bit of a leap to start to grasp. I've been working with rust for a little but still consider myself a baby but damn is it a fun thing to invest into. So many layers and interesting ideas to learn
What parts are you enjoying??
the part where if it compiles it will almost 100% of the time work. Of course, that's not completely the case with some of the database stuff, but pretty much everything else works.
I feel like I also had the “if it compiles it works” experience with Golang as well, but holy cow is it a much simpler and easier to work with language. I want to like Rust, I really do, but even just the syntax is painful to look at lol.
Also the cult-like community is a bit off putting…never seen anything quite like that for any language…
It does seem to have some genuinely solid benefits though so maybe one day I’ll get into it.
Yeah I tried Go and absolutely hated it. Way too many downsides to it as well. I am surprised it grew as a language at all.
